POPSPolish WW2 War Criminal Escapes to Israel He was a member of the State Security and the commandant of the Stalinist-era concentration camp Zgoda in Świętochłowice, Poland. Of 6,000 inmates that he was responsible for, that 1,695 people died under him "by deliberately giving low food rations, systematically torturing and mistreating prisoners, and failing to take sanitary precautions." Zgoda camp was set up by the Soviet NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB , after the Red Army entered southern Poland. The camp was later handed over to the Communist Polish secret service, the notorious Urząd Bezpieczeństwa. In March 1945, Morel became a chief of the labour camp.

POPSThe Network Behind The Bush-Bashing Book “after Bernardine’s return from Cuba,” where she had “a warm meeting with members of the Viet Cong.” That was before she and Ayers finished their bombing campaign, which included a blast that killed a San Francisco policeman, and helped launch Barack Obama’s political career. Osnos is the key to understanding the network that is working behind-the-scenes. A former national news editor of the Post, Osnos was an assistant to I.F. Stone in the 1960s. Stone was exposed as a Soviet agent in the transcripts of Soviet messages known as the Venona intercepts and by other sources. Former Soviet KGB Major General Oleg Kalugin had identified Stone as a Soviet agent, but under pressure from the media later backed away from that precise description. However, in his book, The First Directorate: My 32 Years in Intelligence and Espionage Against the West, Kalugin still identified Stone as a “fellow traveler” of the Soviet Union who “made no secret of his admiration for the Soviet system”

POPSFlag Pin Festish The flag fetish strikes me as a case of Protesting Too Much. If you’re confident in your possession of something, you don’t have to wear it on your sleeve, your gable, your bumper, or your T-shirt. In fact, the latter used to be considered disrespectful, a kind of desecration. Americans live surrounded by other Americans; there’s no need for a show of defiance. We’re not like the English and the French, who fought one another for centuries, still have cultural misunderstandings, and can see each other’s countries on a clear day. So why this bravado, even insecurity, which I think must lie beneath gratuitious, context-free displays of patriotic devotion

POPSKremlin Charges Two Russian-Americans With Industrial Espionage RIA Novosti reports that the FSB specifically accused the Zaslavskys of "illegally gathering secret commercial information for the benefit of several foreign oil and gas companies, in order to give them advantages over Russian competitors." The Russian authorities' attention to the Zaslavskys' ties to the British Council has further soured relations between Britain and Russia. The Guardian reports that in January, Russia closed the regional offices of the British Council in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg as part of the ongoing diplomatic conflict between the two nations over the murder of former KGB agent and British resident Alexander Litvinenko in 2006. But Thompson Financial reports that the Russian government said the Zaslavskys' arrests were "not connected to the present state of Russian-British relations."

POPS5 Jail Hotels (Where You Pay to Be In Prison) From plush cells to nighmarish slammers. A prison is probably the last place on Earth most of us would want to spend the night. Well, for some of these converted prison hotels that still holds true: in Latvia, for example, ‘guests’ who pay to stay at a former KGB jail complex are subjected to humiliation and emotional torture. In other cases, however, notoriously terrifying prisons have since become luxurious 4-star hotels where you can cozily enjoy a stay in a former prison library or even the director’s office! Here are 5 such prison hotels from around the world that range from luxurious to downright frightening.

POPSMikhail Gorbachev as a Christian Several newspapers have reported that Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the USSR, is a Christian. What is surprising, however, is not so much the reports themselves as the source: the reports have come from Italy. It will be interesting to see if there are any follow-ups in the media, saying something about how Gorbachev practises his Christian faith back home in Russia. Does he have a parish and a parish priest? Where are they, and what do they have to say?

POPSIsrael Safe-Haven for Criminals & Tax Evaders for Jews!!!
Putin’s tremendous influence on Russian Jewish oligarchs presents a problem. Putin is very different from previous Russian leaders: he is not a nomenclature bureaucrat who carefully charts his course, but a petty KGB officer turned corrupt businessman turned politician turned tsar. Putin is, in a sense, rootless; he lacks political fundamentals. His thinking is that of the proverbial “new Russian” businessman, entirely lacking strategic dimension. The nearest Western analogy is of a spoiled and not particularly bright child who suddenly became a large company’s CEO. Putin is unpredictable; he makes moves based on curiosity and desire to show his power. Now the Putin-controlled Jewish magnates can establish control over Israel. They can spend much more on elections than any Israeli party, and invest more in the electoral-oriented welfare than any charity. In all likelihood, the MAPAI-built security apparatus of Israel would grind the oligarchs. ...Israel ENews.

POPSGeorgian Billionaire Found Dead In Surrey Feared Plots Russian Alexander Litvinenko also had links with the Georgian businessman. Sources in Tbilisi have told The Times that he stayed at Mr Patarkatshvili's residence in Georgia en route to Turkey when he fled Russia to seek asylum in London in 2000. Russian prosecutors claim that Mr Litvinenko also visited Mr Patarkatsishvili as well as Mr Berezovsky in London shortly before he was poisoned. They accuse Mr Berezovsky of involvement in the murder of the former Federal Security Service (FSB) agent as part of a plot to damage President Putin's international image.

POPSINFRAGARD: FBI Deputizes Business for Martial Law Including "shoot to kill" during Martial Law. This is a direct copy of the KGB-citizen-business spy network, now in Amerika. Doing this increases both paranoia and super-patriot fantasy that is quick to mark people or groups as suspicious, especially dissenters of various sorts. Deputizing big business in particular means that "some are more equal than others" (Orwell, Animal Farm). "Membership has its privileges". "Protect the Homeland". Sieg Heil!

POPSHomegrown Terrorism Act Creates Citizen Suspects
Introducing crimes of belief. This is liberty of conscience being attacked where political-correctness becomes unwritten law and anything else is deemed suspicious or dangerous. The first amendment, along with the fourth, hangs in the balance. Another important warning from Paul Craig Roberts, and another piece of tyrannical legislation that requires protest. A domestic war is being waged through law to establish a matrix against citizen resistance of the powers that be. This is very close to a KGB secret police and citizen watch system to report dissent or suspicious activism. You could be considered a "threat to domestic security" and reported such by others. The ADL has already deemed and propagandized to the FBI that "civil libertarians" and patriots who consider the Constitution as a restraint on government as potential terrorists. (Yet every government official who swears to uphold the Constitution is promising to be a civil libertarian). The entire article is wort

POPSGlobal Warming-Hype or HAARP? As the U.S. and former Soviet Union spent trillions of dollars on their militaries, their commitment to mutually assured destruction led to extensive experimentation with the use of weather as a weapon. In 1977, the Saturday Review cited a CIA report hinting that the U.S. government already had the power to massively manipulate the weather for war purposes. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, a 1993 Isvestia article suggested the U.S. might want to partner with the Russians in peddling their top-secret technology to the world. Oleg Klugin, a high-ranking KGB officer, bragged of his involvement in geophysical weapons research to a London newspaper. The grid patterns of jet chemtrails now spotted throughout the Western world are likely the application of these technologies to new military and civilian uses.

POPSWho is Gorby Shilling For Now?
Gorbachev, former Soviet strongman (and believe me, I miss being able to use that phrase!) has launched his second career as a shill for Pizza Hut, Louis Vuitton, and Vladimir Putin, which may well be the holy trinity of the new rich in the "New Russia." Still, with his editorial on "what a responsible leader" Putin is, it seems like he's pushing real hard to jump the gun. After all, Putin has only said he's going to resign as president, he hasn't actually done it yet. In all my experience in dealing with former KGB guys ;) I've learned to believe something when I see it, and even then, only maybe. Anyway, this is a really funny election. There is nobody running. Most of the ones who openly expressed interest in being the next President of Russia are either dead or in prison! The rest know how to take a hint. So what happens if Putin doesn't become president, but nobody else does either? Will the leadership then fall on this new position for Putin: "Father of the Country"?

POPSUseful Idiot season Well of course this sounds like our current commie propagandists...and it is, although the media and others seem to avoid the term, a tactic which was known some years ago as communist propaganda - LIES - to fit the political goal. It is a coward's position, and is not based in fact or reason. I was thinking the other day about how someone like Scott Beauchamp lied about war crimes of his fellow soldiers, yet he is hailed as a hero by the left. That is their cowardly position; hating the military and looking for ways to discredit, malign and derail the mission. To hell with the consequences, they have an election coming up! And God forbid the Republicans or the chickenhawks should be RIGHT about this...we have to make sure that everyone thinks they're WRONG by depicting them as bloodthirsty savages. Even though the soldiers who are dying are our neighbors, our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, cousins, etc.-if not our own kids, they're the kids next door. Shameful.
